Everyone knows in our church the Bible does not say “ tho shall not have a beard “ but they understand is a “ standard “ of the church. If people want to get in rebellion over facial hair then obviously there is much deeper issues.

I believe if a person desires to be a member of a church, they should accept and practice the teachings of that church. If a Pastor preaches against beards and the man wants to grow a beard, then he should either submit to the personal preference of the Pastor or find another church.
I was attending a UPC church who's Pastor told me he had no scripture against beards, but wouldn't allow a man with a beard to be used on the platform. I didn't argue, I didn't rebel. I simply went to another church which doesn't have the same outdated preference.
